Asian Man Records is run out of my parents garage in Northern California. I have one full time employee (Skylar) and my mom helps out by picking up the mail at the post office. I began putting out records in 1991 and officially started Asian Man in May of 1996. ASIAN MAN is a VERY SMALL LABEL!!!! I think some of the general public have the wrong idea and believe we're this huge record company with tons of employees, but we've only got one phone line (with no call waiting), a fax machine, and just recently purchased a second computer. Depending on how you look at things, this is either a good thing or a bad thing. For me, it's the only thing (or in other words: "I LIKE BEING A LITTLE LABEL") This is how the label will remain. I do this for the love of music, not for capitalist gain or status recognition. I only work with bands that are ANTI-RACIST, ANTI-SEXIST, ANTI-PREJUDICE, and who support the ideas of peace and unity. We encourage you to mailorder directly from us (It's the only true form of DIY distribution), but if you do choose to buy from a store, please support the punk rock mom and pop instead of the super mega chain store. It's very important for me to keep the prices low. Music is meant to be affordable!! How can you justify charging $18.99 for a CD?? It makes me sick!! Anyways, I hope you can grasp what this label is about. Thanks for your interest in Asian Man Records.
